Looking forward to this! 💚

Boston-based @lifebiosciences is set to be testing age reversal in humans in the coming months. Stay tuned. Wish them luck🤞
If the epigenome is reversible, so is aging. Cellular reprogramming will execute an epigenetic reset that will not just slow down aging, but comprehensively reverse it in human beings. That's all.

"In the early days of Valar, a lot of VC’s passed on us because they didn’t believe we could raise the money." Yes, VCs will pass on a company out of fear that other VCs will pass on it. This is institutionalised insecurity. Venture capital emerged from opportunity of frontier
When you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail. When you’re a VC, everything looks like a capital problem. In the early days of Valar, a lot of VC’s passed on us because they didn’t believe we could raise the money. In one way, they were totally right. We raised less than

Spoke to three founders today running either early or growth-stage reindustrialization companies. Dan's commentary below hit home. While the broader Reindustrialize movement is gaining steam, and many VC investors are dipping their toes in the water, there is deep hesitancy

Most people focus on executing because it's far easier to measure, but thinking is far more important. It's hard because thinking is not observable to the outside world. To others, it looks like you're doing nothing or wasting time. Thinking looks like sleeping well, carving

This has always been my dad‘s approach, when people with more money would copy his tool designs, he’d just improve his designs another step. They might have always followed but they were always following and he was always one step ahead.
It's easier to innovate when you're the original of something. People copying you can only copy a snapshot of your current state. They don't know which aspects of the snapshot are essential and which are random things you'd been about to change anyway.

General thought: @Zcash which I co-founded a long time ago, and is based on the Zerocash paper I co-authored (even longer ago), is receiving a lot of attention. I love it!! 💛 Taking a step back, the renewed interest and the price action still fit my general thesis about

I stole this idea and now use it with every single employee. It’s the best illustration I’ve seen of teaching someone to be high agency. It says there are 5 levels of work: Level 1: “There is a problem.” Level 2: “There is a problem, and I’ve found some causes.” Level 3:

@WatcherGuru It’s not storing energy, it’s expending it to produce imaginary tokens It’s like saying you can’t fake wood, then setting the wood on fire The wood is now gone, all you have is proof you burned it

Thus, one of the tragic paradoxes of venture capital: - Where capital is most abundant, it's usually being put to work by opportunists. Very little value is created. - When capital is most restricted, it's usually put to work by competent investors. Lots of value is created.
There are two types of VC: 1) busy complaining / thinks VC is about access 2) busy investing / knows VC is about outliers The phenomenon experienced by the first group is called "money chasing deals", and has been the subject of study going back to the 90s. "First, the

Ethereum 🤝 Bhutan This is cool - Bhutan just integrated the BhutanNDI system with Ethereum. Vitalik and Aya joined the ceremony with the Prime Minister and Crown Prince. BhutanNDI is a private SSI system for verifiable credentials on-chain for anything citizen related 🇧🇹
